Dental check-up frequently asked questions?

How often should you have a dental check-up?

Forever Dental dentists recommend consistent dental check-ups and hygiene appointments to maintain optimal oral health. We encourage you to visit your local office at least twice a year. If you are at higher risk of gum disease or tooth infection, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits

Do you really need a check-up twice a year?

If you’re at risk of gum disease, oral infection or another oral health issue, getting a dental check-up at least twice a year is the best way to maintain a healthy smile. At Forever Dental, we’ll do everything we can to enhance the health of your teeth, jaw and gums.

Why do you need regular dental check-ups?

Regular dental check-ups are a great opportunity to examine your overall oral health- including the health of your gums, tissue, teeth and around your mouth. Also identify if it’s time for an oral hygiene appointment, better known as a teeth cleaning. During your check-up, you’ll be able to ask your dentist any questions you may have and discuss best practices for things like brushing teeth, flossing,and more. They may even make recommendations, including getting x-rays, to ensure you’re getting the care your smile deserves.

My wife and I recently switched to Forever Dental and are extremely happy with the change. Hugo did a great job with the cleaning/examination and Dr Dhake did a great job running through everything with me. Will definitely be using them from now on.

I had my dental appointment yesterday and it was my first most extensive consultation of my teeth ever. Yes, it's uncomfortable meanwhile interesting to know the condition of my oral health. Dentist Reshma explained thoroughly how concerning the issue I have and the gravity of it. On the other hand, the staffs were doing great in welcoming and accommodating customers. Samantha and the other staff displays their job expertise very well.

I highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Booked appointments for my kids here and had a great experience. The doctor herself came off a little rushed in my opinion, however, was still polite and professional. The rest of the staff was great! Samantha was very warm and did great with my littles. The front desk staff was warm and welcoming. Will definitely be making this our family dentistry.

I recently visited Forever Dental for my first appointment at the facility , and I couldn’t be more impressed! From the moment I walked in, the office staff, Yessenia and Karla were welcoming and professional, making the check-in process smooth and stress-free, which immediately put me at ease.
Dr. Dhake and the hygienist, Karla, took the time to explain everything in detail, from the x rays, exam process to the treatment plan. They were gentle, thorough, and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. I even was offered essential oils -lavender- to help calm my nerves, it helped to relax me and I will use it again next time I visit, I also appreciated how they answered all my questions without making me feel rushed. They were accommodating to my schedule and were able to fit in an X-rays, exam, cleaning and dental work-cavity treatments all in one visit.
This team made the experience of going to the dentist a pleasant one and I feel confident that I’m in great hands here (which hasn’t always been the case at other dentist offices). Now it’s time to make an appointment for my husband, he is long overdue.
If you’re looking for a skilled, caring, and professional dental team, I highly recommend Forever Dental!

After taking my grandsons to their dentist appointments at Forever Dental / Chicago with Dr Alexander Upwards and observing how good and painless the experience was for them I decided to book appointments for my wife and I.
My wife and I agreed that we have never had a more thorough exam. I’m 65 years old and learned quite a bit about my teeth with this young man than from any of the dentist I’ve had over the years.
His touch was painless.
His assistants were just as informative and the desk personnel very pleasant and welcoming. Highly recommended.
